There is a peculiar situation with respect to firewalls such as Zonealarm, especially if they are not set to start automatically on reboot. If Zonealarm does not restart automatically on reboot, the necessary permissions provided by firewall to run IBackup for Windows may be lost, however, the firewall controls are still in place even if Zonealarm is not running, and does not let IBackup for Windows to run. To resolve this, simply start Zonealarm if it is not running, and then attempt to start IBackup for Windows, and provide the required permissions, if it prompts.
